A charge of -8.5 µC is traveling at a speed of 9.0 106 m/s in a region of space where there is a magnetic field. The angle between the velocity of the charge and the field is 56°. A force of magnitude 5.9 10-3 N acts on the charge. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

The magnitude of the magnetic field is .

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge,

Speed of the charged particle,

The angle between the velocity of the charge and the field is 56°.

The magnitude of force,

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic field. When a charged particle moves in the magnetic field, the magnetic force is experienced by it. The force is given by :

B is the magnetic field.

So, the magnitude of the magnetic field is . Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: option c.

explanation:

current flows in a wire
